WOW that must have been some fall !! Will be praying that all goes will with your mother's surgery and recovery/rehab.

It was an interesting fall -- she tripped over something on the floor and the momentum had her falling into a cabinet where they store cases of cigarettes. If she had landed on the floor, it would have been a different outcome. I think she must have caught the corner of the cabinet right at the ball area, since they thought it was just dislocated until they tried to put it back into place.

She's out of surgery now & in recovery. Dad said the doctors thought everything looked good.

So we'll see!

I am so sorry about this, those kinds of injuries are hard
hope the surgery goes well, and remember that Pineapple and tumeric are good for healing (eating them)
I love a good Curried rice with pineapple

I hope she recovers quickly and well

Ohhh that is a nasty and unusual break. The scientist part of me is very interested but says that joint replacemtns in that area are normally very succesfull and heal well, although it could be achey for a while.
The human side of me says poor mum and poor you, what a sod of an accident to have, and so close to the Holiday season. I hope you are all ok, and that your mum's recovary goes well.

:grphug: My BFF's mom had a fall like that about five years ago, had her shoulder replaced and had no problems with it. Whatever slowing down she's done is because she's further into her 80s, not because of her shoulder. I hope everything heals as well as Alma's did and gives her no more trouble.

I got to talk to my mother this afternoon. She's in a lot of pain, but had a positive attitude about learning to do things left handed & is looking forward to getting discharged sometime Monday.

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes!

Thank you everyone!

Mom was discharged today and I got to talk to her for a moment becaue the pain meds were making her woozy. She was very happy to be home & got excited when I told her I was going to be home for Christmas. I hadn't planned to, but after this weekend decided I really need to work it out and thankfully all the overtime I have worked in November & will work in December will cover the cost.

I'm glad she is home from the hospital. That's wonderful that you will be able to spend Christmas at home with her.
